Another round of school strikes Students in Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows out Thursday by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter
Teachers will again be on strike in Maple Ridge on Thursday, and the rest of the school year could be lost as job action threatens to escalate. Teachers across the province took a full strike vote on Monday and Tuesday. Results were to be announced Wednesday morning.
With the requirement that the B.C. Teachers Federation give its employer 72 hours strike notice, the earliest a full strike could commence would be Monday. “It’s always hard to predict, but I expect it’s going to be a pretty strong ‘yes’ vote,” Maple Ridge Teachers’ Association president George Serra said Tuesday. The most immediate effect would be to final exams for high school students, and whether yearend report cards will be filled out and issued. The government has applied to the Labour Relations Board
to have final exams for Grades 10-12 and report cards declared essential services. The application to the LRB says without final grades, graduating students Serra would be ineligible for scholarships, and might not meet admission requirements to post-secondary institutions. “The lockout is having a huge
impact on report cards,” noted Serra. Teachers are not to be in school 45 minutes before or after the work day begins, and are not to work during lunch hour. Serra said that has made it difficult for teachers to finish assessing students. The local school board is in a holding pattern, waiting for strike notice from teachers, and the ruling by the LRB. Most schools around the province are set to break for the summer on June 27, so only about nine schools days would be missed. See Strike, p11

B.C. Premier Christy Clark was in Pitt Meadows Friday to honour the city’s 100 citizens of the century, but couldn’t escape questions about the potential of a full-scale strike by public school teachers. Following a short speech and group photograph with the feted 100 Friday, Clark was asked if the government was bringing anything new to the table since bargaining resumed between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association. The BCTF had already scheduled a third week of rotating strikes, which will close public schools in every district in B.C. for one day this week, including Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows on Thursday. Teachers also voted Monday and Tuesday on increased job action that could include a full-scale strike as early as June 16. See Premier, p13

Saving heritage, and energy complicated By Phil Melnychuk staff reporter

Phil Melnychuk/THE NEWS
Jack Fournier, Bill O’Laughlin and Ken Watts all spent their childhood in Hammond and would like the history of the area saved as it grows.
Opinions on Hammond’s future District planning process seeks input on development of historic area by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter
T
he way Jack Fournier and Ken Watts remember Hammond, it was a thriving little corner of the world anchored by a huge cedar mill on the banks of the Fraser River.
There were little shops of all types, creating almost an independent community sandwiched in a triangular piece of land between Lougheed Highway, the CP railway and the river. “Hardly anybody had cars, so we did all our shopping here,” said Fournier, who grew up in Hammond. During lunch hours in the 1940s and 1950s, workers from the sawmill traipsed into Hammond Cafe and Rooms, the old Jorgy’s Cafe and Shield Cafe for lunch. “All those places were jam packed at lunch time,” said Watts. Both were at the Hammond area plan process Thursday as the District of Maple Ridge creates a way to develop the area in the future. What lies ahead though is uncertain. Council is influenced by “real estate pimps in their back pockets,” said Fournier, whose grandparents owned the Hammond Cafe and Rooms on Maple Crescent. The building is
now known as Maple Crescent Lodge and is supposed to be torn down, replaced by a drug treatment centre designed in the same style. Both Fournier and Watts grew up in Hammond and want the past preserved somehow, as does Bill O’Laughlin, who’s lived in the area since 1933. He’d like to see some shops come back. “When we were first married, we did all our shopping here.” But there were limits. “Haney wouldn’t allow us to expand,” O’Laughlin said of the downtown core area. “You had to build there.” Watts pointed out that while it was all one district, “It was not called Maple Ridge.” People instead used the community names, such as Hammond, Haney, Ruskin. About 200 people visited Hammond community hall to give their ideas about how the future should look and to scribble their points on to Post-It Notes stuck on to a display board. They’ve also e-mailed in their comments and posted photos on the District of Maple Ridge Facebook page. One comment made a plea: “Keep the heritage feel of the Port Hammond area. New homes should have front porches.” James Rowley, with the group Hammond Neighbours, wants the same thing as the oldtimers. He wants that to happen through a heritage conservation area that will apply to the core area of Hammond. Any new buildings, including condo or apartment buildings, would have to preserve the form and content of the area’s heritage, he explained. According to the Maple Ridge Museum, two brothers with the last name of Hammond bought land along the Fraser River and applied for townsite status for Hammond in the late 1800s.
At the time, Hammond and Haney were separated by treacherous river bank, the museum says. Once the CPR was completed, people took the train between the communities. “When Port Hammond was first developed, it was thought it would be both the terminus for the CPR and the major deepwater port for the region. The port soon moved to New Westminster and the terminus to Vancouver,” says the museum’s website. With the first stage of community input just complete, district planner Jim Charlebois said it’s too soon to guess the future. First, the reams of comments and photos and e-mails have to be sifted through to see what people actually want. “We don’t know what we’re going to hear yet, so we’re not pre-determining anything. “We’ll respond to what we hear,” he added. Once that process is complete, Maple Ridge council will get an update in the fall, followed by a draft area plan next spring. At a time when it’s difficult to overcome apathy, 120 people took time out to give their thoughts. “The enthusiasm is fantastic,” said Frank Quinn, public works general manager.
Hammond images Part of seeking input was the Hammond Community Character Photo Project. By searching #MyHammond on the district’s website, people can see more than 300 photos of the area that people think depict the area’s character. Or you can go directly to the page at http://www. mapleridge.ca/794/MyHammond-Hammond-AreaPlan-Process to see the photos.
ames Rowley and Leanne Koehn call their old home the “Hammond Forever House” because, if renovated properly, it will last a long time. And it may take forever to renovate, as the couple tries to save the heritage of the home built in 1923, and save energy and the earth by fitting it with the latest technology to lessen its carbon footprint. But the financial challenges are daunting. “What happens with many people, and it’s happened to us in the past – we do it piecemeal and the end product is much less. If we had the money to do it all at once, we’d save a lot of energy and we’d end up with a product we’d like to live in for the rest of our lives.” Rowley said incentives for eco renovations of homes are geared towards people making a plan, doing the project all at once. “But nobody can afford to do that. There needs to be a few more steps to help us get there.” Rowley launched a blog called Hammond Forever House, detailing his predicament and to “inspire a community approach to the challenge of climate change. “This is the story of the renovation and retrofit of a 1923 Craftsman-style cottage into Hammond Forever House” – says the blog. “A house that heats and cools itself, conserves both energy and water, and keeps our family healthy and happy – on a budget. Can we do it? Watch us.” The couple is also about to sign a heritage revitalization agreement with the district that will give them six years to restore the home while preserving its heritage. Two years ago, Rowley introduced the Now House project to Maple Ridge. With the project, groups of homeowners were supposed to coordinate eco renovations and save thousands through economies of scale. But that didn’t work out. As any homeowner will tell you, Rowley says one project leads to another. For instance, there’s the small matter of replacing the ancient oil-burning furnace in the basement. “So we have some questions for our readers. What kind of heating system do we use?” Does he put in a high-efficiency natural gas furnace that puts a fraction of the hydrocarbons into the air compared to the old oil furnace? That would save energy, but still would mean using fossil fuels, he pointed out. So what about an electrically powered heat pump? Better yet would be a geothermal heating system, where coolant is pumped into the ground using the temperature of the earth to heat or cool the building. “If I want to live in my house forever, that’s the way to go. But how do we pay for that?” Insulating the walls is a tricky topic. The exterior of the walls have to be preserved while the inside walls are beautiful panelling. For now, they’ve blown in insulation but are stymied from doing more at the moment. There are other projects, as well. But many government grants that encouraged homeowners to do eco renovations are no longer available. It’s now up to the community, as a whole, to find answers, Rowley says.

“Is it perfect? No. And we could be here another five years and not come up with the perfect plan.” To get the strategy working, an implementation plan proposes five action items: creating a commercial zone at Dewdney Trunk Road and 248th, where a small shopping centre is proposed; and second, creating an incentive plan, through tax breaks or holidays, that will draw businesses to Maple Ridge. A third step is tweaking regulations for home-based businesses to encourage people to
After four years of discussion, its’ time to approve Maple Ridge’s commercial-industrial strategy, says Mayor Ernie Daykin. Council wasn’t ready to OK the strategy Monday. It will return to council June 16 for more discussion. “I think we need to move forward,” Daykin said.

we have to make a decision,” said chief administrator Jim Rule. Public works general manager Frank Quinn said the intent Monday was to discuss the implementation plan rather than the commercialindustrial strategy itself. However, staff could revisit the strategy if council directed, he added. The commercialindustrial strategy lists several short-term and long-term steps to spur economic growth. Short-term: attracting food carts to the downtown make Memorial Peace Park a more lively place; bringing in more sports tournaments, banning big-box stores from industrial zones, encouraging more restaurants on 224th Street, and speeding up extension of Abernethy Way to connect to business parks at the north end of 256th Street. Long-term: pursuing a West Coast Express station in the Albion Industrial Area, and developing tourism near the former Albion ferry terminal. TransLink, however, is currently selling the latter. Other long-term goals are to encourage development of Haney Plaza for mixed residentialcommercial use, as well as developing Albion flats, east of 105th Avenue into a business park, next to where Smart Centres is proposing a shopping centre in what’s now the Albion fairgrounds. Coun. Cheryl Ashlie said some things could be done quickly to speed growth, such as changing bylaws to allow alcohol to be served at downtown sidewalk cafes. “That should be happening right now. It’s one of those immediate action things that needs to happen,” so people can sit on a sidewalk on a sunny night and enjoy a beer, like in a civilized country, she added.

take the plunge and start a business. Fourth on the list is talking to property and business owners in Albion Industrial Area to see if there are ways of expanding their business, possibly by allowing more commercial opportunities. The last tactic is studying the feasibility of industrial use for Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure lands on Lougheed Highway, just east of Kanaka Way. The 38 acres are up for sale. Studies are also proposed for property at 128th Avenue and 232nd Street and for seven acres to the east and 20 acres to the west of Kwantlen First Nations reserve on Lougheed Highway, as well as for the Thornhill urban reserve, the area east of 248th Street. Thornhill could be used for commercial-industrial purposes, as well as residential. “Right now, it’s designated urban reserve,” said planning director Christine Carter. But that can mean either residential or industrial. Councillors still had questions, however. Corisa Bell said it was clear previously that the commercial-industrial strategy hadn’t been ready for approval and that council was just considering an implementation plan. “I really don’t know what to say. “I’m a little bit frustrated, absolutely. I also think the economic development office should have had a staff member present today,” to explain some items. And Coun. Bob Masse said it wasn’t clear how the strategy would improve taxes or create jobs. “I’m not certain this is going to get us where we need to go.” But senior staff were getting testy with the delays. “At some point in time,

Suspicious vehicle
Ridge Meadows RCMP are looking for a man and young woman in a pickup truck who were seen arguing near a West Coast Express station Sunday. Police were called to River Road just after 7 p.m. after the pair were seen arguing, with witnesses stating the fight may have become physical.
“Police arrived in the area of the incident moments after receiving the call, but there was no sign of the people involved,” said Sgt. Jennifer Hyland. “A witness managed to take a picture of the truck as it left the area, and this is being released to the public for a possible identification. Since the attending officers were unable to speak with these people, investigators want to ensure the people involved are safe.” The couple was seen driving away in a dark grey Ford pickup with a red tailgate, “West Coast-style” chrome mirrors and a canopy with no back window. Witnesses described the young woman as being between 15 to 19 years old, approximately 5’6’’ and 110 to 120 pounds. She had straight bleached-blond hair, which was shoulder length, and was wearing a white or pink tank top. The man was fairskinned and in his 30s or 40s. He is approximately 5’9’’ and 150 pounds. He has black hair, which was cut in
a bowl style, along with a black moustache. He was wearing a beige shirt with grey stripes and blue jeans. • Anyone with any information is asked to call Ridge Meadows RCMP at 604-4636251. To remain anonymous call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or leave a tip online at solvecrime.ca.
Roll-over crash Two people were injured following a crash between an SUV and car Sunday in Maple Ridge. A woman in her 60s was turning left from Lougheed Highway onto Kanaka Way when she collided with a car travelling west. The SUV rolled over and the Maple Ridge Fire Department had to extricate the woman from the vehicle. She was airlifted to hospital, while the driver of the car was taken to hospital by ambulance. Ridge Meadows RCMP said both drivers sustained non-lifethreatening injuries. The crash remains under investigation.

Police seized guns, ammunition and drugs following a recent traffic stop in Maple Ridge. Ridge Meadows RCMP’s Street Enforcement Unit stopped a white van in the downtown core and found illegal drugs in it after conducting a search of the vehicle on May 29. Police also found a handgun and ammunition in the car. The traffic stop led RCMP to apply for a warrant to search a house in Mission, where additional firearms, ammunition, body armour, an explosive device and a quantity of drugs were seized. “All weapons, in particular firearms that are not registered or illegally carried, can pose a significant risk to public safety,” said Cpl. Alanna Dunlop. “Canada’s laws in relation to firearms are very clear, and a person is required to have a permit to own and transport firearms.” RCMP allege that two of the firearms seized during the investigation were stolen, and one is a fully automatic assault rifle. “Clearly, police are

Democracy blocked Teachers have been conducting rotating strikes around the province, walking off the job a day at a time to protest the lack of progress in their ongoing contract dispute with the province. Last week, student organizers, as they have in previous disputes, felt it was time they tried to make their voices heard. Although more than 10,000 students across the province said they would participate in their own strike Wednesday in support of their teachers, when 9 a.m. rolled around, there were low turnouts at many schools. That’s disappointing, not because we think students should be missing any more educational time than they already have through the teacher’s walkouts, but because the low turnout was due in part to a campaign by school administrators to discourage the student strike. Voting rates among young people are at an all time low. What better way to convince a group of high school students that their voice won’t matter when they too get to voting age than to squelch their attempt to exercise the rights of free speech and lawful civil protest. It’s unlikely the student protest would have any effect whatsoever on the teacher’s contract negotiations. But that isn’t the point; the important part is the student initiative to attempt to make their voices heard. School administrators shouldn’t have encouraged the student protest, but they could have chosen to step back and not interfered. At the most, the students on walkout would have missed a class or two, but they would have learned a different kind of lesson. And, after all, the students’ voice is important: their education, and that of following generations, is what is really at stake here. – Black Press

Gas: the other pipeline showdown VICTORIA – The prospect of piping diluted heavy oil across northern B.C. and loading it in tankers has generated significant genuine protests, as well as bursts of celebrity nonsense, rent-a-stunts and instant online petitions. Natural gas pipeB.C. Views lines and export Tom Fletcher terminals, on the other hand, are generally accepted by the public. Premier Christy Clark staked her political future on developing liquefied natural gas exports, and pulled off an upset election win that not even she expected. Most of the heat she’s taken on that is focused on her extravagant predictions that LNG will pay off the debt and maybe even get rid of our sales tax. But, as I predicted 18 months ago, there’s a shift in the target of professional protesters to natural gas. A reminder of that awaited me on a morning walk to the B.C. legislature during the last week of the May session. At the front gate stood a young woman in a bikini top and shorts, her skin smeared with a dark material, presumably to simulate crude oil. She waved to passing traffic, stretching a banner promoting a website for the “Unist’ot’en camp.” Legislature security intervened to clear the entry walkway before I could ask the protester who was paying her. The
fundraising website she was promoting hadn’t been updated since March, but this isn’t the first time this camp has been promoted here. Chevron’s Burnaby oil refinery was also targeted May 30 by protesters who locked themselves to a gate with bicycle locks and chains. They also cited the Unist’ot’en camp and their aim to stop the Pacific Trails pipeline. The camp came to my attention last summer, when it was promoted by one of Victoria’s chronic anarchist protesters, a woman who goes by the name Zoe Blunt. She and other southern protesters documented their trip north to support the camp’s stated goal, to stop the Pacific Trails gas pipeline, planned to supply the Chevron-Apache liquefied natural gas terminal near Kitimat. The camp is on Crown land near Smithers. It was established at the end of a one-lane bridge by two members of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation. While that community’s elected council maintains a respectful relationship with the B.C. government, the splinter group that backs the camp has confrontation in mind. The Unist’ot’en website is a jumble of demands and claims that alternates between the Pacific Trails gas pipeline and Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proposal. Like the woman at the legislature, if you want it to be against oil, it’s against oil. A clearer picture of this situation is provided by a relentless blogger named Greg Renouf, who specializes in investigating protesters across Canada. His blog (www. genuinewitty.com) should be required reading for reporters who are presented with slick banners and posturing protesters.
Renouf follows the money, as well as the familiar faces who pop up at protest after protest. In April, he reported that the increasingly militant Council of Canadians is supporting the Unist’ot’en camp, along with what he describes as “a host of NGOs, unions, militant anarchists and professional protesters.” They include Harsha Walia, who organized violent protests against the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.
Meanwhile, in the real world, TransCanada Corp. announced last week its subsidiary NovaGas Transmission has signed an agreement with Chevron and Apache for a gas pipeline that will connect to Pacific Trails. Meanwhile, in the real world, TransCanada Corp. announced last week its subsidiary NovaGas Transmission has signed an agreement with Chevron and Apache for a gas pipeline that will connect to Pacific Trails. It’s one of four gas pipelines TransCanada has in development for what is planned to be the biggest industrial investment in B.C. history. They can smear it with oil, but gas is the protest industry’s latest target. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

THE NEWS/letters
My pocketbook not bottomless
online comments Not my family Roald Liset: Re: B.C. premier faces questions about teachers strike at Pitt Meadows celebration (The News). Much like a two-tiered medical system, the current Liberal government appears to be weakening our public school system while the private system sails along nicely. With [Premier] Christy [Clark] and her crowd its all about “family” – just not your or my family. • Christine Oades · University of British Columbia: So much of this is hogwash. Sorry, but if we want our public school system to turn into private schools, then we should keep allowing Christy Clarke airtime in our news articles. It is time for the truth to be told. This is about class size and composition. Claims of huge disparities between BCTF and government on wage increase are inflated. These are initial wage demands only, not what is realistically expected. The reason why no movement has been made is solely because the government has made zero concessions to class size and composition ... Please allow some facts to be shared from teachers and their unions.
What goes up Kenny Gread: Re: Taxing people out of Canada (Letters). While governments rightly tax gasoline, that is not the only reason for the rise in price at the pump. Given the start of summertime driving, when more gasoline is normally consumed, I suggest you direct your comments towards the fuel companies that ultimately post pump prices. Every year, same thing keeps happening: gas goes up at the start of summer and goes partially back down in fall. This has nothing to do with taxation and everything to do with corporate price gouging. BTW, right-wing (business friendly) governments claim they cannot regulate the gouging, as that would interfere in the ‘free’ market/ That is actually a form of repugnant monopoly.
Editor, The News: When did a three per cent tax increase turned to one of seven per cent? Who is doing the math in the finance department? And the district wants to borrow money to build a fire hall in Albion? What about learning how to budget, Mr. Mayor and council? I have to balance my pension of $1,300 against a Hydro rate increase, gas rate increase, Internet/cable increase and mortgage. There is not much left to pay for food, petrol, house and car maintenance. So turn it down. My pocket is not bottomless. I do need a roof over my head and a garden to plant my food. Z. Matej Maple Ridge
fact that this mayor, and his council, can pee away $10,000 on those useless, unattractive Maple leaf standards on Dewdney Trunk Road near Lougheed Highway, without any public consultation, and think it’s OK. Sidewalks to nowhere, steel maple leaf standards that have absolutely no value, this mayor and council are out of control with useless spending. As far as I’m concerned, if they have that much money that they can spend it on the crap they are choosing, then my property taxes should be going down, not up. I wouldn’t vote for any of them again. We need a reality check on our municipal politicians, and their value mentality on spending taxpayers’ money. John Turner Maple Ridge
Out of control
Taxes necessary
Editor, The News: I recently received my notice for property taxes. As we were warned, they’ve gone up, mine to the tune of $111.83, totaling over $4,000. My housing assessment went down by $10,000. It’s bad enough when your property value goes down that much, but even worse when the tax bill goes up. The biggest gripe I have, however, is the
Editor, The News: Every year at this time when people see their property taxes they complain about taxes and blame politicians. Right now we have a big strike with teachers and people writing to say we need to spend more on education – i.e. raise taxes. Then you have others who complain about high taxes. Politicians are blamed for spending not enough and for spending too much.
Those who complain about high taxes are usually quick to identify areas that are the cause. Kevin Buell blamed high gas prices and compares to areas that pay less. Norway pay twice what we do and Arab countries pay half of that. There is a reason for these differences and taxes are a good part. Norway taxes are higher and Arab countries do not tax gas. People who live in countries with low gas prices want to come to Canada for a reason. The low taxes in those countries usually means little is spent to make them desirable places to live. Taxes are necessary to make this the best place in the world to live. I would never think of moving to any other these low tax countries. The only question is what and how much should taxes charge. If we want more spent on education, health care and other services, what taxes do we increase? If you do not want tax increases, what are you going to give up? It usually gets down to blaming others like corporations, politicians or government salaries, or just poor management for the high taxes and ways to decrease taxes – never services that complaining tax payers use. The HST was a fairer tax system that was thrown out for a more costly one. So even when some better system is put in place it is rejected. Dan Banov Maple Ridge

Local businesses kicked in with sponsorships for the events, so that the kids could have a free hot dog lunch, and for medals at the end of the day. District principal of student support services Katherine Shearer was impressed with the track meet. “It was an amazing amount of coordination, and a cool community event,” she said.

The athletic leadership students from MRSS were on hand to help put them through their paces. There was also entertainment provided by local mascots, including MRSS’ Rambo, the Bruins Rugby Club “Blue” bear, and the local Rotary club’s ducks. “The day is going really well – lots of smiles,” said Herman at noon. It was a fun, accepting environment, and if an athlete picked up the soccer ball and threw it into the pins, there were

Maple Ridge secondary hosted the first district-wide adapted sports day on Monday. The event was the idea of MRSS support teacher Carly Herman, and she got about 50 special needs students from Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows high schools together for fun competition. “They love PE class, and we don’t often get together as a big high
school group,” she explained. The sports day was intended to celebrate students and their talents. The students, who had both cognitive and physical challenges, moved between eight different stations on the track at MRSS, with each one offering a new contest. There was kicking an oversize soccer ball into a set of bowling pins, throwing a football through a target, and tossing a water noodle in a javelin style.

Pitt Meadows Day impresses again by Col l een Fl anagan staff reporter
B
lue skies and sunshine greeted thousands as they watched the longest parade in the history of Pitt Meadows Day on Saturday. Ninety six entries made their way through the downtown core to the delight of spectators, who lined both Hammond and Harris roads. Many of them were holding water guns and bags full of water-filled balloons in anticipation of the annual water fight with members of the Pitt Meadows Fire Department and RCMP. “Water fights along the parade route have been a regular item,” said Rick Higgs, president of the Pitt Meadows Day Society. But this year the RCMP brought an Armoured Personnel Carrier that has porthole windows on both sides. “Well, apparently when they opened those up and had water pistols and things to squirt at kids, it just broke up the audience. The audience just thought that was hilarious,” said Higgs. He was most impressed with the variety of entries in the parade across all the categories. The Lions Club had a record turnout for its pancake breakfast and mallets were being swung all day at the three high strike units, new to the fair this year.

Pitt citizens of the century celebrated by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter
Hidden amongst the names on the list of Pitt Meadows’ citizens of the century are the ingredients that makes a community thrive. Each of the 100 has a
‘Let’s bargain’ Premier from front
“Bargaining can happen without job action,” Clark said to a packed room at the South Bonson Community Centre. “My hope would be that the union comes to the table ready to bargain and get it solved.” Clark agreed that class size and composition – two issues the government removed from the bargaining process – are areas that need to be improved in B.C.’s public schools. “The problem that we have always had at bargaining is the bargaining always becomes about the wage issue first and those other issues second. I would like to get these wage issues settled as soon as we can, then it will allow us to talk about kids,” said Clark, a remark followed by a loud round of applause from the audience. BCTF president Jim Iker wants a one-onone meeting with, Clark but she ruled that out for the moment. “I think the bargaining needs to happen at the bargaining table with the bargainers. The government has made some pretty big moves in the last couple of weeks,” said Clark. Last week, the union reduced its wage demands from a 15.9 per cent increase over four years to 14 per cent over four years, including increases for the cost of living. The government is offering 7.25 per cent over six years plus $1,200 signing bonus. Clark noted her B.C. Liberal government has settled agreements with 40 per cent of the public sector in the past five years. “Teachers deserve a raise, too,” she added. “I think we can get there, but we have to decide we are going to roll up our sleeves, be serious about bargaining and decide there is a will to get this done without putting kids in the middle of the fight.”
unique story of selfless sacrifice, from the city’s first reeve John Blaney and South Asian pioneer Thakkar Banns to Aisha Wewala, an exceptional student from Pitt Meadows elementary and one of the youngest residents honoured on the list. “Every single person who is being honoured today, all 100 people … have done it because you found common cause,” Premier Christy
Clark said Friday during a ceremony at the South Bonson Community Centre. “You wanted to make a difference, you wanted to make a change that was going to improve this community, the province, this country. Each of you knew a secret and that is in giving to others and doing service without expectation of reward, we gain something immeasurably
valuable.” The list of 100 includes not only individuals but groups such as the Pitt Meadows Museum and Heritage Society and the city’s volunteer fire department. The names were chosen by a committee of volunteers. • Visit mapleridgenews.com for a slideshow of the ceremony and to hear Premier Christy Clark’s speech.

AS SEEN ON ARKETPLA CE C’S M Thanks Bruce I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldn’t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future. I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to fight for good customer value. Sincerely, Amy Gill

Aboriginal awards honour students by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter
A
young woman who has been forced to grow up in a hurry was one of the winners at the annual Aboriginal Achievement Awards. Each year the awards recognize the most impressive efforts of aboriginal students in the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows School district. One of the major award winners was Darian Robertson, who took home the coveted Spirit Eagle Award, given to students who show spirit. Scott Ormiston, the secondary aboriginal resource teacher, uses words like “mature,” “adult” and “motivated” to describe her. Many of the circumstances that led to her winning the reward are personal and confidential, he said. “She has overcome many personal challenges with a strong will and incredible perseverance, and graduated from MRSS with a Dogwood diploma,” he said. “Robertson is living independently with her partner, who is employed full-time, and they are eagerly looking forward to the birth of their son in August. “The title of the award is a ‘spirit’ award, and we’ve seen these kinds of circumstances overcome and bury other kids,” he said. She got support from the school system, but Ormiston said she is the kind of person who “takes a small break and runs with it.” Christine Ahern, a district youth worker, said Robertson is a good example for all students who find themselves in tough circumstances. “Darian is kind-hearted, very responsible, and she has learned some great life skills over the years,” she said. “She’s reliable, she’s dependable and she’s worked very hard in our program.” Ahern said the grad is interested

in massage therapy, but plans to remain involved in the pregnant and parenting team program. “The girls get to be together, and that sense of belonging is huge for them – to have friends in the same circumstances as them.” Robertson said the program is important to all the girls involved, who might otherwise give up school. “It empowers them, to have a place where they can be open, and just be themselves, and to know that it’s a not a total sin to be young and pregnant.” Robertson was shocked to hear her name announced for the prestigious award. “It means a lot. It has been a pretty difficult road,” she said. “I’m very thankful for it – it was a really awesome experience.” She said the awards night affected her in a personal way. “It’s uplifting for my spirit, to be able to say ‘I’m Métis, and I’m proud.’” The Kwantlen Community Impact award was won by Andrew Britton of SRT. The Grade 12 student has taken on a leadership and mentoring role at school. On his own time he volunteers
to supervise a Grade 3 student at Albion elementary, and assists students with special needs who participate in shop classes. When not at school, Andrew is very involved in air cadets. He has been a member for the past six years and has done many hours of volunteer work in the community. For the past six years he has been a member of the honor guard for the local Remembrance Day ceremonies. He has also volunteered to carry the Canadian flag at B.C. Lions football games, Vancouver Titans basketball, and Vancouver Whitecaps soccer games. In recognition of his volunteer time he was asked to assist with the Grey Cup Ring Ceremony in 2012. The Katzie Si-Yan Cultural Leadership Award was won by Emerald UnRuh of Westview secondary. She is an ambitious honours student focused on the empowerment of youth through education and culture. UnRuh is the youth representative for the Golden Ears Métis Society, and helps Métis youth connect to their culture. A highlight was arranging to have well-known Métis author Maria Campbell speak to Métis youth, with a gathering and potluck to celebrate the occasion. She has worked to provide opportunities for youth that include a weekend of first aid training and a jigging competition. There were six students who were recognized for winning the award of excellence in five consecutive school years: Gabrielle Bachand and Jared Dunlop of MRSS, Rhea Loveless and Megan Oishi of SRT, and Duncan Stefurak and Jamie Whitford of PMSS. Paul Sage-Brownlow of Blue Mountain elementary won a $75 gift certificate as the Elementary School Logo competition winner, and Tristan Florence from Pitt Meadows secondary won a $200 cheque as the senior logo winner.

Vicuña Studio’s hosts a three-day art extravaganza in Maple Ridge by M o ni s ha M a r t i ns staff reporter
O
n the walls of Vicuña Art Studio and Gallery, there are bold and bright paintings that mimic the work of icons from Matisse to Picasso. Just like a proud mother, Maria Daley beams as she looks at two 16x20 paintings by Gord Baird. “He’s like Chagall,” exclaims Daley. When you looks closely at Baird’s work – one painting titled Sister – Strolling Companions and the second named Melody – Young and Old – you can see why Daley invokes the name of the famous Belorussianborn French artist, whose work drew on emotional association rather than traditional pictorial fundamentals. Just like Chagall, Baird’s paintings are whimsical and childlike, but full of feeling. “Everyone is unique,” Daley says of the 50 students whose work is featured in Spring into Summer. Daley has been using art to transform the lives of people with developmental disabilities since she opened Vicuña in 2008. The studio is a creative outlet for individuals from the Ridge Meadows Association for Community Living. She offers artistic instruction tailored to the skill level of each participant in her class. She has blind students and others who paint while seated in wheelchairs. Vicuña has since relocated from its location on Dewdney Trunk Road to Kingston Street, where it is housed with other programs offered by the Ridge Meadows Association for Community Living. The new location has allowed Daley to take on new students and a new instructor, Gina Miller, a Vancouver-based visual artist. At first, Daley admits it was difficult to get the nowseasoned artists to paint. The students at first were timid. “It was all about trust,” she says. “You wait for the teaching moment.”
Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS
Vicuña Art Studio instructor Maria Daley with a painting by student Bonnie McPherson titled I love spring, and Gina Miller with a painting by student Michelle Harding titled My budgie tribute, created in memory of Harding’s pet bird. Colourful floral motifs created by Vicuña artist Brenda Powers were recently purchased by a Vancouver company, printed on 16 huge boards of Plexiglas and now stand in the lobby of a building at Bentall Centre. Other paintings are sold at shows, with the artists receiving 60 per cent of the proceeds. There have even been bidding wars for some work. “It’s all about the feeling of the brush and how to move the brush on canvas,” says Daley. “Once they get that, they’re on the other side and nothing else matters.” Artists featured in the show: Cathy Gunnewig, Petra Gonzales, Bonnie McPherson, Brenda Powers, Jodi Main, Cathy Browne, Brittany Tunstell, Marjan Ishani, Nicole Locke, Doug Lester, Brent Wilson, Michel Poirier, Alana Girvan, Pamela Brown, Jenny Ainsworth,

Alan Law of the Clover Point Drifters performs at last year’s inaugural The True North Fraser Bluegrass Festival .
The audience seated behind Gordie Sadler couldn’t keep their feet from tapping as he played his banjo at a Pitt Meadows council meeting last week. If the performance had taken place anywhere else, the lead singer for the bluegrass band 5 on a String would surely have coaxed the crowd into a hoedown, accompanied by the cool strumming Colin Goldie from the band The Still Blue. “That was just awesome,” said Peter Vanderlee, a senior director for the True North Fraser Bluegrass Festival, which is getting ready to pack the Albion Fairgrounds on the Labour Day long weekend, Aug. 29-31.
Last year’s inaugural festival drew more than 1,000 people with 150 tents and RVs camping on the fairgrounds throughout the weekend. We rebranded a 25-year-old Chilliwack festival, said Vanderlee as he thanked council for their support of the event. “We gave it a welcoming home.” The festival has a goal of turning Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows into a destination for bluegrass lovers. Half of the festival’s steering committee is made up of returning volunteers. However there’s always room for more helping hands. See Bluegrass, p19

Things to do with Dad this Sunday Dad gets to be king of his castle at least one day during the year. Father’s Day activities should be centered around Dad’s interests. With that in mind, the following are some ideas to honour Dad or another special man in your life. Sports Sunday: If Dad is a sports fan, his idea of spending a fun-filled afternoon may be cheering on his favourite players. Whether your father enjoys golf, tennis, baseball, soccer, or another sport like hunting or fishing, chances are there is a television broadcast on that you can watch together. Otherwise, you can surprise Dad by purchasing tickets to a sporting event and making a day of it. Beach bound: A relaxing day at the beach may be the perfect way to spend Father’s Day. Dad can enjoy the entire family while sitting back in his beach chair and watching the waves roll in. Pack a picnic lunch with his favourite foods and a cold beer, and Dad may just say this was his best celebration yet. Adventure seeker: If yours is a father who enjoys living on the edge, a Father’s Day activity built around action and adventure should be a winner. Take Dad base jumping, rock climbing, scuba diving, or go-carting. Any of these activities is bound to get Dad’s adrenaline pumping. R&R: Dad’s idea of the perfect Father’s Day may be an afternoon free of obligations and deadlines. A relaxing day in the yard swimming laps in the pool or hitting a few grounders to your waiting baseball mitt may be all the excitement he needs. Toss a few steaks on the grill to give Father’s Day a truly perfect ending.

Impromptu party: Some dads like to be the center of attention. A Father’s Day party thrown in his honour, complete with friends and family, can be an entertaining way to spend the day. If you are worried about interrupting others’ Father’s Day plans, host the gathering on the Saturday before Father’s Day and let Dad be the life of the party. Finger foods, barbecue, a limited list of cocktails and other beverages and some background music are all that you need to host a festive function.

MY FATHER By Sandy Mayes My Father was an artist With hands on wood he did excel Perfection showed in all he created Every endeavor turned out so well. The graceful legs of a Queen Ann table The precision of a sewing box inlaid The comfort of the beautiful rocking chair The teak bed with love they were all made, The ultimate test of a man at his best He produced three violins One for each of his “Dancing Girls” A gift to last through so many eons.
The News would like to thank Sandy for sharing her poem with our readers, written about her late Father Thomas Dunbar.
Happy Father’s Day! Come to Firefly and pick up the perfect gift for dad! Choose from over 850 different craft beers as well as a great selection of Scotches, Spirits and Wines.
To me, my Father was a friend As long as I can remember we always worked together Creating original precision in wood Doing it Dad’s way - there was no other No words need to be spoken About a love that would not be broken The love between us was heart felt For granted - never was taken. Between my Father and my Mother We knew of a special love As a family we felt it so truly Physically now not together, but it does shine from above

B.C. launches elder abuse awareness social media campaign
J
une is seeing a month-long campaign to highlight the issue of elder abuse. West Vancouver-Capilano MLA Ralph Sultan was joined by seniors advocate Isobel Mackenzie, media personality Dr. Art Hister and key seniors advocacy representatives to launch the campaign, which is part of a wordwide initiative, supported by the U.N. “B.C. seniors helped build this province,” said Sultan. “This month-long awareness campaign is a call to action for all British Columbians to take a stand against elder abuse and work together to ensure seniors feel safe, respected, and welcomed to participate in
and be active members of their communities.” Elder abuse often goes unreported and can be difficult to detect. The most common forms of elder abuse are financial, physical, emotional and sexual abuse, and neglect and may be obvious or more discrete. For example, emotional abuse could range from a cashier rolling their eyes or making a humiliating comment to others in line as a senior counts their change or something more obvious, like name calling, yelling or coercion.

The Maple Ridge Burrards split a weekend trip to Vancouver Island, losing to the Victoria Shamrocks 7-4 on Friday night, then defeating the Nanaimo Timbermen 10-8 Sunday. In front of a crowd of more than 2,100 Western Lacrosse Association fans in Victoria, the Shamrocks enjoyed a huge edge in power plays, going 2-8 with the man advantage. The Burrard power play had only two man advantage opportunities, and scored on both. Andrew Murphy led the Burrards with two goals and two assists, while Spencer Evans and Riley Loewen also scored. The Burrards were outshot 52-33. Frankie Scigliano made his debut in the net. He was pelted with shots, stopping 45 of 52, and was named the game’s second star, after first star Matt Findell – his counterpart in the Victoria net. Findell said a pressure defence, with no traffic and no screens, made his life easy. The Shamrocks are the class of the WLA so far this season, with four wins and a tie in five outings, and are averaging better than 10 goals per game. In the Sunday game, the Burrards forced turnovers and took advantage of Nanaimo mistakes. Evans scored four goals, and was named the game’s first star, and Andrew Murphy had three goals and an assist.
